Hands-on experience with the new Logitech Lift vertical mouse.
The new Logitech Lift Vertical Mouse is the brand’s latest peripheral, but it’s not designed to replace anything in the lineup. Designed to be more affordable than the higher-end MX counterpart, this model makes some compromises to deliver the popular ergonomic form factor for less money.
This time around, comfort still comes first, and Logitech does just that with a vertically oriented 57-degree design. This time around, the build includes built-in support for Mac and PC via Bluetooth or a Logitech Bolt USB receiver, as well as a pair of side buttons that complete the kit with a 4000 DPI sensor.
Coming to the review, knowing the Logitech Lift is a compromise, should you install it on your workstation? Or are you better off paying extra for the MX Vertical? We are testing a new accessory to find out.
Here’s a closer look at the specification:

Taking 9to5Toys
Right after the announcement a few weeks ago, Logitech was kind enough to send me one of the new Lift mice for testing. Although it is available in three different colors and left-handed and right-handed versions, I used the white model.
As far as these ergonomic mice go, I’m completely unfamiliar with them. I’m a true trackpad lover, so I was excited to see what Logitech had to offer this time around, especially considering it’s a newer and more affordable version compared to the more expensive MX counterpart.

Right out of the box, the Logitech Lift build looks very good. It has a decent weight, but not too heavy. I was immediately drawn to the soft rubberized grip on the back of the peripheral, which remains one of my favorite things about the new release. The padding has a unique layered design that really blends with the vertical design for comfort. So we’re off to a great start.
Actual use maintains a noticeable first impression with a responsive sensor, just like the more expensive version. The buttons, on the other hand, aren’t as clicky or tactile as we’d like, though they’re still reasonably responsive. On the other hand, speaking of another one of my favorite aspects of the Logitech Lift, the two side buttons are a nice addition. Even though you have two fewer buttons than the MX Vertical, the ability to reprogram those auxiliary switches is certainly welcome.
The only compromise that really allows Logitech to make the Lift mouse affordable comes down to battery life. While you’ll find a USB-C rechargeable unit on the MX model, this one runs on a single AA. To be honest, this isn’t the biggest hurdle for me given Logitech’s notes that you can expect about two years of use before a replacement is needed, but anyone who has made a deal not to take supplies to their workstation may not be as willing to accommodate. , like me. .
All in all, while I’ll still be a trackpad fanatic, Logitech made the best possible first impression with the new Lift mouse. All compromises cost money and, more importantly, savings in my book. I’m sure many users will find the $30 increase in the MX version worth it, but anyone looking to try out a vertical mouse for the first time should definitely consider the new Logitech Lift instead. It provides almost all of the premium features for much less money, while focusing on what a more affordable accessory should be.
